It is wonderful to hear all the work that Mr. Katko has done on mental health. He has been exceptional in this field, and I thank him for all his support. Working together is a pleasure. What is mental health? If somebody says you belong in a crazy house, not so. It could be a child in school, a middle school, suffering the effects of bullying, or somebody who has had trauma, a shooting or something that affects them, and it won't go away and it festers when they grow older. Forty percent of the incarcerated need mental health services. Foster children, who are unaware of what their next step will be after they are emancipated, need mental health support. That can just go on and on. It is something that is needed. Somehow, we are not doing our job. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
